Atlanta, Deo. 16.—Zachry’s res
olution, with Walker’s amend
ment, >o name a commission of five
to investigate the State] road lease
and report their findings to the
legislature for final action, passed
the Senate to-day.
The members of the House to-day
endeavored to reconsider the action
yesterday which appropriated only
$15,000, asked for to provide heating
apparatus, etc., for deaf and dumb
asylums. The motion to reconsider
was defeated.
The school bills of Jackson,
Bolfcuillet and Fleming were taken
up at 10 o’clock as the special order
of the day. Jackson’s bill provides
a permanent common school fund
amounting to about $110,000.
Bolfeuillet’s bill provides for the
disbursement of this fuud, the lead
ing feature being the quarterly
payment of teachers Instead of a
yearly payment, as is the present
method. Fleming’s bill provides
for local taxation by counties for
support of common Bchools.
These bills track oue after tbe
other and form the best system
ever adopted In Georgia. The three
bills passed tbe House.
Tbe bills to incorporate tbe Con
tinental Bank and amend the char
ter of the Union Savings Bauk and
Trust Company, also to appropriate

AMERICU3, QA.
Chris. McGhee, the white mau
who attempted to burn bis way out
of the calaboose in the new court
bouse Monday morning, is once
again, to all appearances, a sane
man.
Wben put In tbe lock-up he raved
and fought wildly,'aud ever since
his incarceration has acted lu a
crazy mauuer. There was no ex
pression in his face, and his talk
was lucoheront and without reason.
Yesterday a Recorder repre
sentative dropped by with Officer
Wilkins to see bow he looked, and
found him In a much better condi
tion. He appeared about all right,
and talked rationally.
He said that he knew he had
been crazy, and that he only came
to his Benses fifteen minutes before.
He bad had a similar spell about
two months ago. He got drunk
and bis mother told him afterwards
that be went erszy and tbe officers
kept him locked up for four or five
days until be got well.
He was told wbat he bad done
since being locked here aud he
seemed very penitent.
He seemed to be all right, but be
certainly bad a bad case. This
can't be taken exactly as an exam
ple for temperance lecturers, as
stomach bitters was tbe cause of
bis trouble.

A prominent clothing merchant
stopped a Recorder representative
yesterday aud spoke thusiy: “You
fellows had a good kick in this
morning about, this gis company,
and I want you to make a kick for
us clothing dealers.
“I have just left a young man
ahd I am hot. The occurrence
will give you au example of what
I want to kick at.
“About ftwo mouths ago this
young fellow bought a suit of
clothes from me, aud a real uice
suit. He said he was out of mouey
just then, but would pay for it
boou. He seems to bo a nice,
clever young mail, and is well
known here, so that I let him have
them. But I didn’t know him
quite as well as I thought I did,
and after two months bard dunning
I couldn’t get the money. A while
ago I saw him with the suit on and
decided to tackle him myself.
"Says I: ‘Young mau, you
bought these clothes from me.’
“‘Yes.’
“ ‘You haven’t paid for them.’
•• ‘No.’
“ ‘You knew at the time that you
had no prospects of paying for
them.’
“ ‘Yes.’
“ ‘You merely like to sport, wear
good clothes, and appear respect
able at the expense of other peo
ple.’
“ ‘Yes.’
“ ‘In other words you are a con
founded ’
“Just hero he caught sight of
some girl, and saunterad off with'
out another word, looking as slick
as you please In that elegant suit of
mine, that stylish hat of somebody
else, that lovely ltnen, adashlDg
oravat, and a flashing diamond, all
belonging to bard working men
who try to earn an honest living.
“And then his cheek. You don’t
know how mad it makes me and
that’s what I want to kick about.”
“Yes,” broke in • olerk with a
mouruful air, “I sold a fellow just
like him a suit for $27 not long since,
and the boss has gone and charged
it up to me. He wont pay It, and
I’ve got to. I wish you’d just give
them— ”
The poor fellow broke down here
at the thought of that $27, and if the
mau who bought the salt has any
compassion In his being, now is
his time to show it.

NEARLY THROUGH.
THE HABEAS CORPUS CASE DRAW.
INGT0ACL0SE.
Only Two More Speeches to be Made-
Four Delivered Yeeterdey-And AU
Were Good.
Promptly at nine o’clook yester
day morning Judge Fort rapped for
order, and the reading of the evi
dence in the habeas corpus case
was taken up where left off tbe
night before.
AJ1 morning was takeu up with
this, and after tbe recess for din
ner, the reading was continued.
About three a finish was reaobed.
This was a signal for a general
Taking up, for all this evldenoe
was given in the preliminary hear
ing, and was well known. From
this point on new developments
might be looked for.
And one came up Immediately
by the lutroduetion of an affidavit
of Richard Howard by his attor
neys. Tbe State objected to this,
aud some argument was made ou
the polfit. Judge Fort ruled it lu.
Solicitor Carson Ju arguing stated
.that as a rebuttal to tills affidavit
and to controvert it, it would re
quire ten days for ’he State to get
up its witnesses, having to get them
from threj States. The counsel for
the defense then withdrew the affi
davit, and the case moved on.
The affidavit was of a purely
family nature, explaining the do
mestic troubles which led up to
and caused tbe difficulty with Daw
son.
Argument on the question as (o
bailing the defendants was begun
by Col. Sanford, one of Alabama’s
most noted lawyers. His speech
was able, showing clear logic and
reasoning, and was intently 11s
tened to by all present.
When he concluded a recess was
taken untf) after supper. Col. San
ford left last night for bis home.
The next speaker was Hon. J. H.
Worrill for the prisoners. Ho too,
made a clear, forcible speech, and
ono that was greatly admired. Hon.
Carey Thornton and Hon. L. F.
Garrard followed for the State and
defense respectively, and all said
of the foregoing speeches may be
said of the efforts of these two gen
tiemen.
It was nearly .ten at the conclu
sion of Col. Garrard’s speech, and
Judge declared a recess until half
past eight this morning.
To-day Solicitor Carson and
Judge MoNeai will add their argu
ments to their respective sides and
the case will 4>e in tbe hauds of
the Judge.
A great deal of interest was man
ifested In the proceedings yester
day, a largo number of apectators
being present nil the time.
Among those interested in tbe
proceedings who are here and who
were attentive spectators of every
point were the relatives of tbe de
ceased and of the Howards. Mrs.
Graves and Mrs. Grlffetli, of Glen-
vllle, Ala., slatera to Dawson, were
present dressed In deep mourning.
Mre. Blobard Howard, wife of
the prisoner, Mrs. Gatewood, lister
to the Howards, and Mrs. A. J.
Howard, mother, were also present.
It is thought that the case will be
concluded by eleven.

•Savannah, Ga., December 16.—
Jay Gould, George Gonld, Sidney
Dillon or Russel) Sage will be
elected on tbe directory of the Cen
tral next month. Wbloh one has
not yet been given ont yet, bnt Mr.
Gould is to be represented.
' Thoee who are posted are not on- .
easy about the semi-annual divi
dend. That it will be declared
ebortly and that it will be 4 per
cent, tbe brokers all believe. The
reason It has not been announced
yet, It le said to be the tight money
market. A million and a half
from tho gross earnings of the Cen
tral have been Invested in purchas
ing and extending new lines with
the expectation that there would
be no difficulty In getting money to
pay the December dividend.
A great financial stringency
came, and tbe Central was unable t
at the moment to pick up the great
eura needed. The situation is
about to ease up now, though, and
it is given but that within ten days
the dlvldenu wiil be announced.
On December 23rd, tbe stockhold
ers have their annual meeting. If
they come down and cannot draw
their interest, they will be disap
pointed.
Tbe electiou for directors will
take place early in January. Mr.
Gould will be the power In the
Richmond Terminal system. He
Is going to do a great deal. Com-
iwcltlon between the different lines
in the system le to be stopped. A
good many traveling agents are to
be withdrawn. Expenses are to be
out down In every way poaslble.
Mr. Gould intends to throw new
trade Into Savannah, Charleston
end Norfolk. He will turn over to
the Central from his Missouri Pa
cific system an enormous amount
of trafllo, and one or two more -
ships will likely be put on from
Savannah to New York. There
will be six and maybe seven ships
a week to New York.
